AKU-94 project

As I continue my endeavor to finish up some unfinished projects, here is what I'm starting today.

I picked up this AKU-94 kit second hand probably 5 or 6 years ago and never got around to it. The guy I bought it from had painted it coyote gray, but got no further.
I'm using a very nice, almost new condition Romy G kit. The biggest complaint about these conversions was the spongy trigger due to the long trigger wire.
That is what intrigues me most about doing this build and why I bought the kit in the first place. I want to see if there is a way to correct that. I have no Idea how at this point, except maybe installing some sort of a bell crank system to shorten and maybe take some of the bends out of the trigger wire.

I'm going to build it on one of copes new polish blanks, that I have already heat treated. That is the other thing that intrigues me about this build. I'm anxious to do a build on one of these receivers.

Looking good x39!! One of these days. A bullpup is on the list, but unfortunately it's way down the build list. Keep up the good work.

By the way, I had the first Polish blank that I helped a friend build his Romy kit on, cracked through the trigger pin hole on the right side. I heat treated it the same as I have always done, so I'm not sure if it's something I did or the material. Dark Knight said that they are 1050 steel, not 4130, and need different heat treat procedures. I know that there are different Polish blanks out there, but these came from Widener's and AK Builder. (We put them all in a box, so I don't know which ones were which, but they all had the same brushed finish. ) Not sure about it, just passing it along. If you have any issues, I'd really be interested to know.

Max - looking good so far and looking forward to reading more about this.

Max, I always post this when ever any one brings up the bullpup with long wires connecting the triggers. Back when this forum just started I read a thread where someone overcame the trigger mushiness by using a bicycle brake cable. He welded on two eyelets, one on each end, that held the ends of the outside of the cables. I have tried many times to find that post but never did.

Yeah there was some talk of this method over on the Saiga 12 Forum. I've tried to find a pic, but have been unsuccessful.

Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!

Good info, thanks.

Keep the ideas flowing guys, I'll be thinking about them all, when I get to that point.

sovbloc,
Don't worry about the hijack. If there is enough interest in this thing, I'll make a condensed version, like I did with the Mauser thread.
